CONSULTATIONS FOR BIO-HYDRATION

Cosmetic clinics in Australia are prohibited by law to advertise or market the brand names of any medicines.

This also includes not being allowed to advertise the brand name of the bio-hydrator product.

As we age, the skin gets thinner, crepier and drier. This is of particular concern to women who are peri or post-menopausal. Bio-hydration has been shown to up-regulate the production of new water channels (called aquaporin 3) in the skin. These aid the transport of water into the dermis and the results have been clinically shown to last up to 9 months from only one session.

Bio-hydration also also stimulates the production of collagen and elastin, the two main building blocks of our skin that we lose as we age. This net result of the longer-term use of bio-hydration treatments are better skin hydration, less need for moisturiser and many patients also note their skin is less sensitive because skin barrier function is improved.

WHAT DO BIO-HYDRATING TREATMENTS DO?

The outcome of bio-hydration is sometimes described by patients as an 'internal moisturiser'. They also commonly report:

Better skin texture
Plumper skin
Less dry skin
Subtle improvement of fine lines
A 'dewy' quality to the skin
More radiant skin (skin luminescence)

Bio-hydrating is ideal for those new to aesthetics. They are also the perfect adjunct for more experience patients who want to take their skin quality results to the next level.

Bio-hydrating is deemed as low risk and one session leads to long-term hydration.

Expected longevity

Depending on your needs, bio-hydrating is usually recommended once every 6-9 months.

DOWNTIME & AFTERCARE AFTER BIO-HYDRATION

For the first days after bio-hydrating you might be able to the feel some 'bumps' under the skin. Bio-hydrating product is placed superficially into the skin where it's needed to deliver its hydrating effect. The thinner your skin is, the most palpable these lumps will be - but they typically aren't visible. (The neck and décolletage areas however have thinner skin and so the bumps here will sometimes be visible for 48-72 hours after a session)

Bruising is part and parcel of any non-surgical intervention and so this can in a minority of cases occur. Some people heal very quickly from bruises but others who are fairer skinned, those with more mature or thinner skin can take 1-2 weeks to heal from a simple bruise.

The same aftercare for all filler treatments applies for bio-remodelling treatments. The most important thing to avoid is no makeup, skin products, fake tan, bronzers, sun cream or similar for 12 hours afterwards. (Therefore you can apply these the day after your treatment)
You shouldn't massage the 'bumps' that are typical after bio-remodelling treatments - these will disperse themselves over 24 hours for face treatments or 48-72 hours for the neck and decolletage areas.
It's best to avoid the gym for 24-48 hours until the bumps have flattened out as this will reduce the risk of excessive swelling and any late onset bruising.
